Sometimes it's simple and it works. That's how it is with these counterweights. Inexpensive (cheap) wide-angle phone lenses very often only give sharpness in the center and all sides and corners look very blurry. A good wide angle lens is much larger and the extra glass keeps the image sharp throughout the frame. But such a lens is heavy and if you're using something like the Osmo Mobile 3 it's not going to be balanced. These counterweights completely solve the problem.
